We currently do not have SNMP enabled for IPAM (partly because we are still getting SNMP set up correctly on our devices), but I am considering enabling it in the near future. I have a couple of questions.
1. What information does it provide that is not provided using only ip scan (I am guessing it will provide just the predefined fields which come up now such as MAC address, Machine Type, Vendor, etc.)?
2. Does using SNMP create significant overhead for the application and/or the monitored devices?
